ions are at least "generations" away from any-\r\nthing resembling self-sustenance. \r\nIf today's world map looks like a conglomerate glob of \r\nsilly putty, smashed by a hammer and stuck together again, \r\nit is because the new nations are in large part literally and \r\nlineally the heirs of their colonial history. Physically, they \r\nare artifacts of 19th century imperialism's division of the \r\nspoils, confined within arbitrary frontiers contrived by co-\r\nlonial mapmakers. Psychologically, they are the heirs of \r\nEurope's own fierce nationalism, which fueled the race for \r\nempire. As 19th century British Philosopher Walter Bagehot \r\nobserved, political man is a highly imitative animal. The sub-\r\njugated peoples of the empires resented and rejected colonial-\r\nism, but they assimilated and accepted much of its trappings, \r\ncasting about for the same status symbols that their masters \r\nhad. This deep psychological need to cut the figure of na-\r\ntionhood for all to see is responsible for the imposing gov-\r\nernment palaces, the parliamentary maces, the conspicuous \r\nRolls-Royces, . the Western-run "national" airlines and the \r\ngleaming chancelleries that exist in many young nations that \r\ncan hardly afford to print money on their own. \r\nAn Exhausting Task \r\nThe new nations are created so quickly and usually with \r\nsuch a lack of rational preparation that they spawn problems \r\nnever faced by most of the older countries, which evolved \r\ntheir own nationhoods over centuries. The empire builders, \r\nfor example, never were lashed by the obligation to improve \r\nthe standard of living of those they ruled. Today the leaders \r\nof a new nation are soon in trouble if they do not do so?\r\nvisibly and dramatically. They confront not one but several \r\nrevolutions at once?political, economic, social, technologi-\r\ncal?and are thereby called on to make choices that West-\r\nern statesmen never had to make. The evidence of how dif-\r\nficult those choices are, and of how unprepared the new na-\r\ntions are to make them, is everywhere at hand. \r\nSimply getting a country in business at all can be a formi-\r\ndable task.

Wilson buried \r\nhis head in mock despair and nearly fell \r\noff the bench laughing.

The Gallup poll forecast that Wilson \r\nwould win a 165-seat majority in the \r\n630-seat House. London bookies made \r\nLabor a 6-to-1 favorite. \r\nOf course, a landslide victory had \r\nalso been forecast for Harold Wilson's \r\nLaborites 17 months ago. Instead, they \r\nbarely broke 13 years of Tory rule, \r\ntaking office with only a five-seat ma-\r\nshields, the U.S. was understandably \r\nanxious to get them all back. To that \r\nend, seven hundred U.S. airmen, sol-\r\ndiers, civilian technicians and Spanish \r\ntroops were scouring a ten-sq.-mi. coast-\r\nal area near Palomares, and 16 ships?\r\nincluding three deep-sea subs?were \r\ncombing the ocean floor.

Defying his own anti-\r\nwar left wing, Wilson has consistently \r\n?often brilliantly?defended the U.S. \r\nposition in Viet Nam. Refusing to be \r\nfrightened into precipitate action on \r\nRhodesia, he hopes that economic sanc-\r\ntions ultimately will resolve the rebellion \r\nwithout bloodshed. \r\nAs never before, Britons are expected \r\nto vote more for the national party \r\nleader and less for the local M.P. If \r\nthey do this, Labor may indeed be a \r\nshoo-in. Since last July's bitter fight for \r\nleadership, Heath has failed either to \r\nunite the Tories or capture the imagina-\r\ntion of the British electorate. On some \r\nsocial issues he has moved to the right, \r\nnot exactly a vote-getting position.

On the other hat \r\ncountry like Switzerland, divided into severa \r\nguage and custom, is proof that some fairly dit \r\nto nationhood can be surmounted. \r\ncountry, whose Moorish nomads wander after water in \r\npassportless circles through neighboring Mali and Algeria. \r\nSince every country must have a capital, Mauritania had to \r\nbuild one from scratch: Nouakchott \(pop. 8,000\), a clump \r\nof pastel cubes on a bleak stretch of sand dunes near the \r\ncoast. In Laos, there are so few trained government elite?\r\nabout 100 in all?that Cabinet making is essentially a game \r\nof musical chairs. Ethnic vivisection abounds nearly every-\r\nwhere. The Somali peoples are split up among Ethiopia, \r\nSomalia, Kenya and French Somaliland; the Bas-Congo \r\ntribe is found in three nations, the Sawaba tribe in four. \r\nThe reverse can be true as well: Laos, Nigeria and the \r\nSudan, among others, are continuously rent by warring tribes \r\nthat are unnaturally confined inside the same country. \r\nOnce in business, a new nation must establish embassies \r\naround the globe and send a mission to the U.N.?tasks that \r\nfrequently exhaust both their finances and talent. Occasion-\r\nally a new nation admits that it just cannot afford the over-\r\nhead; although it is a U.N. member, Gambia has no U.N. \r\nmission, told the Assembly it might not be able to afford the \r\nminimum annual U.N. club fee of $40,000. The Maldive \r\nIslands near Ceylon are so poor that the U.N. must forward \r\ntheir mail through the Maldivian Philatelic Agency, located \r\nin Manhattan down the street from Macy's. Rwanda Presi-\r\ndent Gregoire Kayibanda's chief government handicap is \r\neven more serious: he has no telephone in his palace in \r\nKigali. Periodically he sends a minister driving off to neigh-\r\nboring Uganda to find out what is happening in the world. \r\nRwanda is, however, progressing; until recently, it had only \r\na barter economy based on cows. National pride also engen-\r\nders pretensions as well as problems. Impoverished Da-\r\nhomey boasts a $6,000,000 Presidential residence that is \r\nlarger than Buckingham Palace. Mauritania has a Directo-\r\nrate of Forests and Waters, though it has no forests and \r\nprecious little water. Upper Volta refers to its single quarter-\r\nmile of dual highway as the Champs Elysees. \r\nThe Fabric of Corruption \r\nSuch strutting at government often goes hand in hand with \r\nvirulent corruption and an Old Boy monopoly of govern-\r\nment jobs. In many countries in both Africa and Asia, every \r\njob from minister down to doorman is considered a sinecure \r\nto be purchased. Corruption is so much a companion of \r\nnationhood in some countries that it has become an integral \r\npart of the fabric of government. When the army took over \r\nin Nigeria in January, they found that Finance Minister \r\nOkotie-Eboh had arbitrarily raised tariffs to protect his own \r\nprivate shoe factory, and for a price was willing to do the \r\nsame for others. One Laotian general on a salary of $250 a \r\nmonth supported his family and 32 relatives in style?all in \r\nthe same house?by letting opium smugglers use army trucks \r\nand planes to move the stuff. A record of sorts was set by \r\nBurma's first, Minister of Commerce and Industry, whose \r\nindustriousness at graft netted him $800,000 in government \r\nfunds before independence was yet a year old. \r\nWith pomp and flummery piled atop economic and eth-\r\nnic chaos, democracy inevitably has a hard time. Though \r\nnearly all began by being governed in mufti, some dozen \r\nof the new postwar nations are now ruled by their military \r\nestablishments. More and more, the military-officer corps \r\nplays the role of constitutional monarchy with emergency \r\npower. In the past nine months, seven African nations have \r\nbeen taken over by the military. "It is these men," says \r\nGabriel Almond, president of the American Political Science \r\nAssociation, "who are initially most appalled at the signs \r\nof corruption and breakdown." New-nation armies by and \r\nlarge are not only the most honest, disciplined and organized \r\nelite in their countries but, paradoxically, the most demo-\r\ncratic force around. \r\nIn the wake of the latest round of coups, Lord Caradon \r\nworried aloud that "people are going to say: 'These misera-\r\nble little places should never have been allowed to exist.' \r\nThey are going to reject these nations with disgust. That \r\nwould be a bloody disaster." Nations have to begin some-\r\nhow; occasionally just plain good luck comes along to give \r\nthem a boost. A few years ago, feudal Libya was written off \r\nTIME, MARCH 11, 1966 \r\nA Safety Net \r\nToday's new states are born into a large and particularly \r\ncomplicated world. One of its complications is, of course, \r\nthe cold war rivalry, which so far has worked to the new \r\nnations' advantage by providing two competitive founts of \r\naid. "The bipolar power structure provides," says Harvard's \r\nJoseph Nye, "a safety net underneath these nations as they \r\nplay on their tightrope." If ever the U.S. and the Soviet \r\nUnion get together and agree on spheres of influence, how-\r\never, the new nations may find themselves with no net to fall \r\ninto; in the interim, they had better acquire some bounce. \r\nThe 20th century's other complications do not help either. \r\nThe non-nations find themselves small and technologically \r\nblighted in a world that is fast integrating its trade and in-\r\ncreasing its industrial and scientific prowess. Most of them \r\nsimply cannot get up the ante to enter the race, let alone run \r\nthe course on their meager human and natural resources. \r\nThere is always the prospect of neo-imperialism, in which \r\nthe stronger new nations would take over the weaker, but \r\nthe votes and voices of other small nations in the U.N. are \r\na deterrent to such country grabbing. \r\nProbably the most sensible way in which the new nations \r\ncan improve their lot is by forming federations: getting to-\r\ngether to face common problems and opportunities while \r\nmaintaining a healthy measure of separate identity. Eco-\r\nnomic federation is certainly the most promising form at the \r\nmoment, despite some early failures. What English Econo-\r\nmist Barbara Ward calls "technocratic federations" are like-\r\nly to sprout in the future?and the young nations should \r\nbegin planning how and when they can form and join them. \r\nThis would happily preserve their proud national preroga-\r\ntives while offering the benefits of a large economic mass and \r\na sharing of modern technology. The Central American \r\nCommon Market has demonstrated what economic associa-\r\ntion can do for underdeveloped countries: in five years it has \r\nmore than trebled the trade of its five members and set their \r\neconomies to humming. LAFTA?the Latin American Free \r\nTrade Area?is finally beginning to move, and Britain is \r\npushing its West Indian territories toward an economic feder-\r\nation as the price of freedom. The Central African Republic, \r\nChad and Cameroun have formed a small common market. \r\nFarther down the road is the prospect of political federa-\r\ntion. So far, it has proved an unsuccessful experiment, tor-\r\npedoed in several instances by prickly national and even \r\ntribal sensitivities and by the fear of bureaucrats that co-\r\noperation would eliminate duplication of ministries?and \r\nhence their jobs. Though it is a geographical entity, for exam-\r\nple, Africa suffers from such deep and profound differences \r\nas to make it seem like a collection of different worlds. More-\r\nover, there are no African, Asian or Latin American coun-\r\ntries today that show much interest in revising their borders \r\nor totally merging with other nations. Still, given the number \r\nand the weaknesses of new nations, the possibility of future \r\npolitical federations is a real one. In the long view of history, \r\nafter the passion of nationalism has cooled, after the ado-\r\nlescence of the underdeveloped countries succumbs to ma-\r\nturity, some form of union may be the answer to many of \r\nthe problems of today's young nations. Some day there could \r\neven be something like a United States of Africa. The new \r\nnations?powerless, bothersome and somewhat bizarre as \r\nmany of them seem?will continue to proliferate for a long \r\ntime. It seems inevitable that, at some point, the flow will \r\nhave to be reversed, bringing to federations of small nations \r\nthe stature in world affairs to which at present they can \r\nonly vainly aspire. \r\nDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24 : CIA-RDP79600752A000300070001-8 \r\n39 \r\n\fDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: CIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\nPEOPLE \r\nack from the fighting to check in at \r\nis command post at Bong Son, Army \r\nColonel Hal Moore, commander of the \r\n1st Air Cavalry's famed 3rd Brigade \r\n\(TIME, Feb. 11\), found the post com-\r\npany waiting with a big cake and a roar-\r\ning chorus of Happy Birthday.

The unbelievable mountain of Pacific sea-\r\nwater follows the wind eastward, burying Los Angeles \r\nand San Francisco as if they were but grains of sand. \r\nNothing - but nothing - stops the relentless, over-\r\nwhelming onslaught of wind and ocean. \r\nAcross the continent the thousand mile-per-hour \r\nwind wreaks its unholy vengeance, everywhere, merci-\r\nlessly, unceasingly. Every living thing is ripped into \r\nshreds while being blown across the countryside; and the \r\nearthquake leaves no place untouched. In many places \r\nthe earth's molten sub-layer breaks through and spreads \r\na sea of white-hot liquid fire to add to the holocaust. \r\nWithin three hours the fantastic wall of water moves \r\nacross the continent, burying the wind-ravaged land \r\nunder two miles of seething water coast-to-coast. In a \r\nfraction of a day all vestiges of civilization are gone, and \r\nthe great cities - Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, \r\nDallas, New York - are nothing but legends. Barely a \r\nstone is left where millions walked just a few hours \r\nbefore. \r\nA few lucky ones who manage to find shelter from \r\nthe screaming wind on the lee side of Pike's Peak watch \r\nthe sea of molten fire break through the quaking valleys \r\nbelow. The raging waters follow, piling higher and \r\nhigher, steaming over the molten earth-fire, and rising \r\n3 \r\nDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\n\fDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\nalmost to their feet. Only great mountains such as this \r\none can withstand the cataclysmic onslaught. \r\nNorth America is not alone in her death throes. \r\nCentral America suffers the same cannonade - wind, \r\nearth-fire, and inundation. \r\nSouth America finds the Andes not high enough \r\nto stop the cataclysmic violence pounded out by nature \r\nin her berserk rage. In less than a day, Ecuador, Peru, and \r\nwestern Brazil are shaken madly by the devastating \r\nearthquake, burned by molten earth-fire, buried under \r\ncubic miles of torrential Pacific seas, and then turned \r\ninto a frozen hell. Everything freezes. Man, beast, plant, \r\nand mud are all rock-hard in less than four hours. \r\nEurope cannot escape the onslaught. The raging \r\nAtlantic piles higher and higher upon itself, following \r\nthe screeching wind eastward. The Alps, Pyrennes, \r\nUrals, and Scandinavian mountains are shaken and \r\nheaved even higher before the wall of water strikes. \r\nWestern Africa and the sands of the Sahara vanish \r\nin nature's wrath, under savage attack by wind and \r\nocean. The area bounded by the Congo, South Africa, \r\nand Kenya suffers only severe earthquakes and winds - \r\nno inundation. Survivors there marvel at the Sun, stand-\r\ning still in the sky for nearly half a day. \r\nEastern Siberia and the Orient suffer a strange \r\nfate indeed - as though a giant subterranean scythe \r\nsweeps away the earth's foundations, accompanied by \r\nthe wind in its screaming symphony of supersonic death \r\nand destruction. As the Arctic basin leaves its polar \r\nhome, eastern Siberia, Manchuria, China, and Burma are \r\nsubjected to the same annihilation as South America: \r\nwind, earth-fire, inundation, and freezing. Jungle ani-\r\nmals are shredded to ribbons by the wind, piled into \r\nmountains of flesh and bone, and buried under ava-\r\nlanches of seawater and mud. Then comes the terrible, \r\nparalyzing cold. Not man, nor beast, nor plant, nor \r\n4 \r\nDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\n\fDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\nearth is left unfrozen in the entire eastern Asian conti-\r\nnent, most of which remains below sea level. \r\nEast of the Urals, in western Siberia, a few lucky \r\npeople survive the fantastic winds and quakes. \r\nAntarctica and Greenland, with their ice caps, now \r\nrotate around the earth in the Torrid Zone; and the \r\nfury of wind and inundation marches on for six days \r\nand nights. During the sixth day the oceans start to \r\nsettle in their new homes, running off the high grounds. \r\nOn the seventh day the horrendous rampage is over. \r\nThe Arctic ice age is ended - and a new stone age begins. \r\nThe oceans - the great homogenizers - have laid down \r\nanother deep layer of mud over the existing strata in \r\nthe great plains, as exposed in the Grand Canyon, Painted \r\nDesert, and Badlands. \r\nThe Bay of Bengal basin, just east of India, is now \r\nat the North Pole. The Pacific Ocean, just west of Peru, \r\nis at the South Pole. Greenland and Antarctica, now \r\nrotating equatorially in the Torrid Zone, find their ice \r\ncaps dissolving madly in the tropical heat. Massive walls \r\nof water and ice surge toward the oceans, taking every-\r\nthing - from mountains to plains - in gushing, heaving \r\npaths, creating immense seasonal moraines. In less than \r\ntwenty-five years the ice caps are gone, and the oceans \r\naround the world rise over two hundred feet with the \r\nnew-found water. The Torrid Zone will be shrouded in \r\na fog for generations from the enormous amounts of \r\nmoisture poured into the atmosphere by the melting \r\nice caps. \r\nNew ice caps begin to form in the new polar areas. \r\nGreenland and Antarctica emerge with verdant, trop-\r\nical foliage. Australia is the new, unexplored continent \r\nin the North Temperate Zone, with only a few handfuls \r\nof survivors populating its vastness.

Of \r\nSan Francisco and Los Angeles, not a trace is left. \r\nEgypt emerges from its Mediterranean inundation \r\nnew and higher - still the land of the ages. The com-\r\nmonplace of our time becomes the mysterious Baalbek \r\nof the new era. \r\nA new era! Yes, the cataclysm has done its work \r\nwell. The greatest population regulator of all does once \r\nmore for man what he refuses to do for himself, and \r\ndrives the pitiful few who survive into a new stone age. \r\nOnce more the earth has shifted its 6o-mile thick \r\nshell, with the poles moving almost to the equator in a \r\nfraction of a day. Again the atmosphere and oceans, \r\nrefusing to change direction with the earth's shell, have \r\nwiped out almost all life. \r\nAfter this tumble we join Noah, Adam and Eve, \r\nAtlantis, Mu, and Olympus - and Jesus joins Osiris, \r\nTa'aroa, Zeus, and Vishnu. \r\n6 \r\nDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\n\fDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\nTHE GREAT FLOODS \r\n7 \r\nDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\n\fDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\nNoah? Adam and Eve? Vishnu? Osiris? What do \r\nthey have in common? They represent eras ages apart ? \r\nand yet, somehow, they all join hands in the next cata-\r\nclysm, and walk with us. \r\nThere are others who walk with us, too: men of \r\nscience ? long forgotten ? those who first saw that \r\nthese tumbles, these cataclysmic catastrophes, or "revo-\r\nlutions" of the earth's shell have happened before, count-\r\nless times. J. Andre DeLuc in 1779 and Georges Cuvier \r\nin 1812 were the foremost. Dolomieu, the famous min-\r\neralogist, joined the consensus, as did Escher and Forel, \r\nthe Swiss geologists; also J. Andre DeLuc Jr., and \r\nVon Buch. They all agreed that the cataclysms were \r\ncaused by sudden revolutions of the surface of the earth. \r\nCuvier, in his "Theory of the Earth," first published \r\nin 1812, based his conclusions on his unparalleled correla-\r\ntive research in stratigraphy, comparative anatomy, and \r\npalaeontology. At that time he wrote: "Every part of \r\nthe earth, every hemisphere, every continent, exhibits \r\nthe same phenomenon. . . . There has, therefore, been \r\na succession of variations in the economy of organic \r\nnature . . . the various catastrophes which have disturbed \r\nthe strata . . . have given rise to numerous shiftings of this \r\n\(continental\) basin. . . . It is of much importance to \r\nmark, that these repeated irruptions and retreats of the \r\nsea have neither been slow nor gradual; on the contrary, \r\nmost of the catastrophes which occasioned them have \r\nbeen sudden; and this is especially easy to be proved, with \r\nregard to the last of these catastrophes. . . . I agree, there-\r\nfore, with MM. DeLuc and Dolomieu, in thinking, that \r\nif anything in geology be established, it is, that the surface \r\nof our globe has undergone a great and sudden revolution, \r\nthe date of which . . . cannot be . . . much earlier than \r\nfive or six thousand years ago . . . \(also\) , one preceding \r\nrevolution at least had put \(the continents\) under \r\nwater . . . perhaps two or three irruptions of the sea." \r\n9 \r\nDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\n\fDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\n"These alternations now appear to me to form the \r\nproblem in geology that it is of most importance to \r\nsolve . . . in order to solve it satisfactorily, it would be \r\nnecessary to discover the cause of these events. . . . These \r\nideas have haunted, I may almost say have tormented \r\nme, during my researches among fossil bones. . . researches \r\nwhich embrace but a very small part of those phenomena \r\nof the age preceding the last general revolution of the \r\nglobe, and which are yet intimately connected with all \r\nthe others. . . ." \r\nMany attempts have been made to answer the charge \r\nmade to the geological profession by Cuvier to explain \r\nthese sudden revolutions. Among others, Velikovsky tried \r\nit through his study of myths and legends; Hapgood tried \r\nit; Brown attempted, and in the process amassed a tre-\r\nmendous library of geological data. \r\nEvery time the cataclysmic concept has come to life, \r\nthe "beast" has been stoned, burned at the stake, beaten \r\nto a pulp, and buried with a vengeance; but the corpse \r\nsimply won't stay dead. Each time, it raises the lid of its \r\ncoffin and says in sepulchral tones: "You will die before I." \r\nThe latest of the challengers is Prof. Frank C. Hibben, \r\nwho in his book,' "The Lost Americans," said: \r\n\(C. . . . This was no ordinary extinction of a vague \r\ngeological period which fizzled to an uncertain end. This \r\ndeath was catastrophic and all inclusive. . . . What caused \r\nthe death of forty million animals. . . . The "corpus \r\ndelicti" in this mystery may be found almost anywhere. \r\n. . .

"Any good \r\nsolution to a consuming mystery must answer all of the \r\nfacts," challenges Hibben. \r\nThe challenge wouldn't leave me alone. Like a \r\nhunger, it gnawed at my subconscious. I could hear the \r\ndeep tones of Cuvier's challenge, "find the cause of these \r\nevents," still reverberating through the sacred halls of \r\nscience, ghostly, unanswered. I felt Hibben's challenge \r\nlater on, prodding: ". . . answer all of the facts." I de-\r\ncided that this cataclysmic concept, this catastrophic \r\nend which seems to visit our planet time after time, \r\nneeded verification or refutation once and for all. \r\nThe first step was to gather all of the known, ac-\r\ncepted data from as many "earth" sciences as possible: \r\nstratigraphy, archaeology, anthropology, palaeontology, \r\nradiology, oceanography, seismology, glaciology, and many \r\nother fields. Correlation of the data between the sciences \r\ngave the answer: although there is enough data in each \r\nscience to indicate that these cataclysms happen, there \r\nwas not enough to prove the concept; but between-science \r\ncorrelation showed indeed that the concept was true. Not \r\nonly did it verify that the events have happened, but dis-\r\nclosed when the last five cataclysms were, and what posi-\r\n11 \r\nDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\n\fDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\ntions the shell of the Earth has been in for the last 35,000 \r\nyears. \r\nSo, after years of research, beginning in 1949, \r\nCuvier's challenge had an answer: Yes, indeed the cata-\r\nclysms do happen. And the last one, 6,5oo years ago, \r\nwas Noah's Flood! \r\nAll right. So they happen; what is it that happens \r\neach time? The challenge was really two-fold: Find the \r\nprocess ? what happens in a cataclysm; and the trig-\r\nger ? what causes a cataclysm to start. \r\nWhat a chase! And what a dramatic story of the \r\nearth's history we uncovered: Civilizations of 20,000 \r\nyears ago more advanced than our wildest imagination; \r\nprehistoric legends from Greece, Egypt, India, and South \r\nAmerica which became history instead of legend; lost \r\ncontinents in the Atlantic and Pacific which became \r\ndated realities, with logical reasons for their sudden dis-\r\nappearance. \r\nYes, Vishnu came alive: a man who lived through \r\na cataclysm 70,000 years before our time ? actually ten \r\ncataclysms ago! Now he is known as the Hindu god of \r\nten resurrections from the waters. Osiris, too, was re-\r\ndiscovered; he was the Jesus of his time ? a man of \r\nEgypt, some 15,000 years ago. Noah smiled at us from \r\nthe pages of the "Epic of Gilgamesh"; he actually was \r\na Sumerian named Utnapishtim, who lived 6,5oo years \r\nago. The ark he built is more than legend. \r\nThe process of a cataclysm is known now. \r\nLook at the cross-section of the Earth inside the \r\nfront cover. You'll see two molten layers ? the orange \r\nones. The important one is the thin molten layer about \r\n6o miles thick, which is between 6o and 120 miles down, \r\nbelow the surface of the earth. The thick, deep molten \r\nlayer, starting 1800 miles down at the bottom of the \r\nmantle, and extending 1300 miles deeper, is the outer core. \r\n12 \r\nDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\n\fDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\nNow both molten layers are liquid; however, the \r\ninner magnetic and electrical structure of the Earth \r\nmakes these layers act as if they were near solid, or \r\nplastic. As long as the magnetic and electrical structure \r\nmaintains its orderliness, this old earth keeps on rotating \r\non its axis in a normal manner. \r\nThe growing ice caps ? Antarctica and Green-\r\nland ? are not centered on the earth's axis; and, be-\r\ncause they rotate around the poles, are trying to swing \r\ndown to the equator. The only way they could do it \r\nwould be to pull the whole 6o-mile thick shell around \r\nwith them. As long as the shallow molten layer stays \r\nplastic, the shell won't shift; but once every few thou-\r\nsand years the magnetic and electrical orderliness inside \r\nthe Earth is disrupted, and the molten layer is allowed \r\nto act like a free liquid, which it was all the time anyway. \r\nIt then serves as a lubricant for the ice caps to pull the \r\nshell of the earth around the inside. \r\nIn 1/4 to 1/2 a day the poles move almost to the \r\nequator, and all hell lets loose. The atmosphere and oceans \r\ndon't shift with the shell ? they just keep on rotating \r\nWest to East ? and at the equator that speed is i000 \r\nmiles per hour. It has to be, normally, to make one \r\nrotation per day. So, while the shell shifts with the poles \r\ngoing toward the equator, the winds and oceans go east-\r\nward, blowing across the face of the earth with super-\r\nsonic speeds, inundating continents with water miles \r\ndeep. \r\nNow what about the trigger? This turned out to \r\nbe the most elusive piece of the whole puzzle. We couldn't \r\nrely on some supernatural explanation ?like sometime \r\nhappenings in the heavens of a vague character which \r\nactually violated the laws of nature; no, it had to be \r\nsomething natural, a part of nature's ordinary structure, \r\nwhich disrupts the Earth's inner electrical and magnetic \r\nstructure whenever it happens. \r\n13 \r\nDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\n\fDeclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/24: \r\nCIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8 \r\nWe once thought that Sun spots could be the cause, \r\nbecause they do disrupt the earth's inner electrical and \r\nmagnetic structure; but we were wrong. \r\nWe found out that "nature's power plant" is a \r\nmotor-generator system existing in many different mag-\r\nnitudes. It's a basic structure of the universe. The energy \r\nstructure of an atom is identical to a rotating planet; \r\nto a blue,white star; to a galaxy; to a supergalaxy; to \r\nall levels of supergalaxies including a universe and even \r\nmore. As a neutron which has escaped from its parent \r\natom's neutral zone will separate into particles, a star ? \r\nthrough a sunspot ? gives off neutral matter which \r\nexplodes as it becomes energized; so a galaxy gives birth \r\nto an exploding star when a "dead" star escapes from its \r\nneutral zone in the center; and as a "dead" galaxy ex-\r\nplodes when it escapes from the central neutral zone \r\nof its parent supergalaxy. A planet, therefore, must act \r\nthe same at its energy level. \r\nSo, apparently once every few thousand years neutral \r\nmatter escapes from the 86o-mile-radius inner core into \r\nthe I300-mile thick molten outer core, and there is a \r\nliteral atomic explosion inside the Earth. The explosion \r\nin the high energy layer of the outer core disrupts com-\r\npletely the electrical and magnetic structure in both the \r\nmolten outer core and the outer 6o-mile thick molten \r\nlayer. Finally the ice caps are allowed to pull the shell \r\nof the earth around the interior, with the shallow molten \r\nlayer lubricating the shift all the way. \r\nYou can see, then, that ice ages are not a matter of \r\nadvancing and retreating ice; it's simply that different \r\nareas of the Earth are in polar regions at different times, \r\nfor different durations of time, with the changes between \r\npositions taking place in a fraction of a day. \r\nThe story around the world gives a silent testimony: \r\n?
